but that was a couple of years ago and may have changed. YMMV

we'd run into a length issue. In fact, what I'd like to use would be
shorter than what is generated by lxc. I cleared out a setting in
default.conf and then my custom setting for veth.pair worked as I wanted. I
decided to go with vm-NN to match the container name.



Hi,

Setting the name of the veth should work. There is a length limit to 15 or
16.

Maybe the problem is with the "-" character? Did you try to set it to
something like "vm20eth0" without the "minus" character ?
